Property Manager – Sandwood and Quinag

The John Muir Trust exists – to conserve, protect and repair wild places for the benefit of
everyone. Wild Places play an important part in rural economics, tackling the climate crisis,
biodiversity loss and supporting mental wellbeing.

We manage and care for some of the finest wild places across the UK – from Sandwood in the
Northwest Highlands to Thirlmere in the Lake District. We are constantly seeking and building
new opportunities, partnerships, and innovative ways to deliver. We are a relatively small,
agile and committed team at the forefront of leading change in policy, land and engagement all
for the benefit of nature, individuals and communities.

The John Muir Trust is committed to working together to promote a more inclusive environment
and we need a diverse team to realise this. Applicants are welcome from all walks of life with
diverse backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences to support our work on behalf of
wild places.
